Y11 leavers

I've just had a realisation that once GCSEs are over school is over, meaning no seeing friends, teachers, the normal routine. This is actually kinda worrying me more than sitting my actual GCSEs.I don't think that i would've actually ever said this but l like school (perhaps it's because i've forgotten all the bad things that have happened) i am going to miss all of the little things like lunch periods, normality and even just seeing people in the corridors even if they aren't in my class/year or teach me its just the normality of seeing them.I know it has to end some day but i don't want it to!
For some annoying reason I get very emotional and easily form attachments about these sort of things so have you got any coping strategies for leaving school and moving on/letting go? I'm trying to think of bad reasons that will make me want to leave like i guess the change of the new younger years coming and the lack of room we have in the canteen, the pressure constant revision and exams, the horrible seating plans, siting next to people who make me on edge bc of their intelligence and then expectations of me ... but i can't really think of more as i feel like college is going to be way worse than any of these seem.

It’s ok you don’t need to worry it happens to everyone it happened to me as well but at that time I was going through a lot of stuff in my life which made it even worse for me. It’s my first year of uni but I still want to go back to high school because only now did I realise that those are the times in our life we are meant to enjoy. Life goes on and people come and go you just have to be careful with who you trust because now ur stepping into the real world your teachers aren’t going to be as nice as the ones you had in highschool and it’s going to make u miss them even more but eventually u will overcome and now that your are moving into college u will make new friends and u will have a different environment and more freedom and your going to love it. I mean for me I hated going college but now I am going into uni I actually do miss it. Ur new environment and friends will make u move on especially because ur going to be so busy u will forget about high school. All I wanna say is that A Levels are the hardest time of ur life so make sure u balance out ur revision as well as socialising
